<quoted text>This is the first president in our history who actually wants to bring this nation down and weaken us on the world stage - almost as payback for past sins - even though blacks have long since taken their place as a crucial part of this nation's fabric.He really does.

there it is.

the hatred you harbor for this man is truly beyond belief.

Maybe this black just doesn't know his place is the way you look at it.

Pat Smith and Charles Woods, who've appeared in other media to shame Congress and the president for not working hard enough on Benghazi, called on the lower house to call more witnesses. If the House decides to create a special select committeesomething leadership hasn't ruled outwe'll surely hear more from these parents. Faced with them, the five Republicans and two Democrats who stuck around the Oversight Committee basically one-upped each other on pathos, with South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy putting in a eulogy/apology worthy of Tennessee Williams.

At some point during these testimonies, an Issa staffer stood at the back of the room and took a photo, revealing how few Democrats were there. Issa tweeted this, twice.

Notice how Issa softened the accusation in the second tweetfrom all "Oversight Dems" to all but two. Didn't matterthe story rocketed around conservative media that, as Fox News put it, Democrats were "spitting on the graves" of Benghazi victims by not sitting for the parents' testimonies.

Just how cheap is this story? Well: There are 24 Republicans and 17 Democrats on the committee. Democrats sit on the left, from the witness's perspective; Republicans sit on the right. Here's a screenshot from the moment Gowdy started speaking to Woods and Smith.

There don't seem to be 24 Republicans sitting down for this; there seem to be six of 'em. So does Rep. Patrick McHenry not care about Benghazi victims? Does Rep. Thomas Massie not care about Benghazi victims? Does Rep. Doc Hastings not care about Benghazi victims?

You don't seem to understand the process of home buying. We have the option to walk away if the inspection reveals a costly repair and the sellers will not fix it.

The inspection and appraisal are scheduled for next week and we can walk away if there's a problem with costly repairs.

So, basically, we bought a home. After the inspection, we can say it's definitely ours.

"Bank of America today announced agreements with the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) to resolve outstanding and potential repurchase and certain other claims relating to the origination, sale and delivery of substantially all residential mortgage loans originated and sold directly to Fannie Mae from January 1, 2000 through December 31, 2008 by entities related to Countrywide Financial Corporation (legacy Countrywide) and Bank of America, National Association (BANA).

In addition, Bank of America announced that it signed definitive agreements to sell the servicing rights on 2.0 million residential mortgage loans totaling approximately $306 billion, as measured by the aggregate unpaid principal balance (as of November 30, 2012).

As we enter 2013, we sharpen our focus on serving our three customer groups and helping to move the economy forward, said Bank of America Chief Executive Officer Brian Moynihan.Together, these agreements are a significant step in resolving our remaining legacy mortgage issues, further streamlining and simplifying the company and reducing expenses over time.

Fannie Mae agreements

The agreements with Fannie Mae cover loans with an aggregate original principal balance of approximately $1.4 trillion and an aggregate outstanding principal balance of approximately $300 billion. Unresolved claims by Fannie Mae for alleged breaches of selling representations and warranties with respect to these loans totaled $11.2 billion of unpaid principal balance at September 30, 2012. These agreements extinguish substantially all of those unresolved claims, as well as any future representations and warranties claims associated with loans sold directly to Fannie Mae from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2008, subject to certain exceptions which Bank of America does not expect to be material.

As part of the agreement to settle representations and warranties claims, Bank of America will make a cash payment to Fannie Mae of $3.6 billion and also repurchase for $6.75 billion certain residential mortgage loans sold to Fannie Mae, which Bank of America has valued at less than the purchase price. These actions are expected to be covered by existing reserves and an additional $2.5 billion (pretax) in representations and warranties provision recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Bank of America also agreed to make a cash payment to Fannie Mae to settle substantially all of Fannie Maes outstanding and future claims for compensatory fees arising out of past foreclosure delays. This payment is expected to be covered by existing reserves and an additional provision of $260 million (pretax) recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Together, these actions described above are expected to reduce Bank of Americas pretax income by approximately $2.7 billion in the fourth quarter of 2012...."

Maybe this radical liberal who is anti-capitalism whose former spiritual mentor preached Black Liberation Theology doesn't know his place. It's not the leader of a nation he clearly does not understand and wants to fundamentally transform into his own image.

<quoted text>And yet..........you devoted countless hours over the past five years spouting nonsense opinions like a idiot savant on a meaningless quest. You've had various names and locations over time, you and Carol are the most consistent and prolific nitwits on this thread.Yet you admit 'posts on threads like this are meaningless'.So why do you devote so much time and effort talking about Gsalt in the third person? Why don't you just go back to being Nobraina? It's not like you've fooled anyone, even those who won't call you on it.Could it be that your life is lacking meaning?

For the same reason he claims bills should be separated and not bootstrapped, but has no problems with the debt ceiling bill being bootstrapped to Obamacare.

<quoted text>Granted. Can't count the number of times I asked "how are these people affording these overpriced houses" when we were renting to wait out the bubble bursting.Eventually the kind of loans that allowed them to do that became clear. And why there were so many foreclosures a few years later.

Isn't it amazing how these loan companies thought people could afford them?

<quoted text>We elect our leaders to serve us, the people. Obama serves his self-imposed personal vision and blames republicans if they don't share his same vision.Don't recall too many presidents like this one before. Most presidents reach across the aisle and work with representatives of the people who might not have voted for them.

lol! And it's the right wing nuts who are cheering for Russia and Putin!!!!

Seems clear who wants to bring America down and support foreign countries against America son!

bushie boy attacked a sovereign country for no reason.

That's about as fundamentally transforming an image as one can get, short of the nazi "final solution."
